Lokahi Acres offers several types of Equine Assisted Learning sessions, targeted to help with a specific need or area of desired improvement.
Every approach is distinct, and rooted in horses’ ability to offer valuable insights into our behaviors and relationships through a reflective experience.
Mindfulness & Meditation Sessions
Meditation with horses is a truly extraordinary experience, distinct from traditional meditation practices.
Our hearts create an electromagnetic field (EMF) that reflects our inner story. Faster heart rates indicate stress, while slower rates show relaxation. Horses live in near-constant coherence, and their larger EMFs (40-50 feet) influences those with smaller EMFs such as humans (8-10 feet). Simply being with horses helps us enter a more balanced, peaceful state. When combined with guided meditation and breathing, this connection is deepened and enhances overall well-being and calmness.
This guided meditation is suitable for individuals, groups of friends, and families
Youth Programs
Growing up is both beautiful and challenging. We offer individualized support for your child/teen when they need a boost. They will develop lifelong skills such as problem-solving, communication, respect, and patience while in a beautiful farm environment. These skills naturally bolster self-esteem as they become confident around our horses, which translates into their everyday life.
Horses are magnificent teachers of what is happening inside our bodies, often when we are not aware. We teach your child/teen how to listen and align themselves with the horses, and take steps to live more congruently and peacefully within their own body. This also increases trust, because the better they know themselves and how they react, the more trustworthy they can become in any situation.
Individualized programs are developed with input from parent/caregiver to suit unique needs.
*Optional Clifton Strengths Assessment Add-on to identify key focus areas and build self-esteem.
Team Building
Acquire unique, hands-on experience in new strategies to strengthen leadership, foster teamwork, and enhance communication within organizations, groups, and teams.
We partner with horses—remarkable communicators skilled in providing instant, non-judgmental feedback. By highlighting our underlying beliefs and assumptions, horses assist teams in uncovering and addressing core issues. Through a day of engaging team-building activities, we focus on improving in key areas that often hinder business teams, promoting greater cohesion and increased effectiveness.
Improve Communication
Equip your team with the skills to communicate with clarity and precision. Our approach fosters the development of effective strategies that enhance collaboration.
Strengthen Trust
Support your team in examining personal assumptions and cultivating trust through increased self-awareness. Our approach fosters more meaningful interpersonal connections.
Enhance Motivation
Celebrate the team’s strengths and acknowledge individual contributions to boost morale. This approach keeps team members engaged and motivated.
This isn’t just another ‘corporate retreat’.
This is an opportunity to effect lasting change in your team and to come away with tangible methods for improved function. Our unique program works to spark creativity and innovative problem solving.
Half-Day and Full-Day Retreats available.
Personal Growth
This holistic approach to personal growth, facilitated by horses, aims to inspire greater joy and balance in your life. The horses provide their unique gifts of coherence and mirror your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering valuable insights. Their feedback is instrumental in fostering a deeper understanding of how we respond to the world around us and supporting meaningful change.
This is a deeply rewarding opportunity to:
• Cultivate new perspective to promote a more joyful life
• Gain a deeper understanding of your strengths by observing them in action with the horses
• Assess and refine your individual communication style
• Experience the transformative power of the present moment and coherence
We offer both Mindfulness and Meditation sessions, with an optional individualized program.
